Love in Twilight novel (Clarissa and Damien) novel Chapter 165

Chapter 165 She Was Just an Outsider

Clarissa remained in the courtyard, setting off all the fireworks She refused to return to the living room

“Why isn’t she coming in?” Damien had taken off his coat and changed into loungewear.

“Since Madam likes setting off the fireworks, let’s leave her be,” Mrs. Faber said,

He looked at Clarissa’s figure as she squatted down in the courtyard. Rather than enjoying herself, she probably just doesn’t want me to pick on her.’

What did she have to fear if she hadn’t done anything wrong?

Clarissa didn’t sit next to Damien as they ate dinner.

He sat at one end of the table, and she sat at the other. This was representative of their roles as the patriarch and matriarch of the family, but it also meant that they were the furthest apart,

“Cheers to our first year.” Damien’s gaze swept past everyone present, except for Clarissa,

She didn’t know what he meant by this being their first year, but she still took a big gulp of red wine. Her face gradually turned red.

“Clary, come here.” After dinner, Theresa called Clarissa to her room.

Her room was on the first floor. After dinner, Mrs. Cole had gone back to her home to spend time with her family. Only the maids that worked for the Lawrence family were still around.

Grandpa Lawrence had also retired to his room.

“What’s up?” Clarissa shut the door.

Theresa pulled out a set of red clothes from her suitcase.

“You’re twenty-four this year, and I bought you something to celebrate. Try it on and see whether it looks good on you,” she said cheerily.

“I’m already twenty-four years old,” Clarissa muttered as she changed.

“Yeah. Damien’s thirty-two this year, isn’t he? I remember that he was twenty-five back then.”

Clarissa paused. “Oh Yeah, I guess so.”

“You don’t know how old he is?” Theresa asked.

Clarissa calmed herself down. “People in this day and age don’t pay attention to how old they are. Forget him, I constantly forget how old I am.”

“Oh, you Damien’s already at this age. Aren’t you two considering…”

Clarissa knew what her mother was about to say, so she quickly cut her mother off. “Mom, I need to become a certified public accountant. We‘ve already gone over this. We’ll revisit the topic after I’m done with my certification”

“I still think”

“Mom, how do I look?” Clarissa quickly changed the topic.

“Very pretty. You look good in everything, Clary”

Clarissa looked at herself in the mirror. Theresa had got her red loungewear, which she could also wear out of the house. However, Clarissa found it weird to leave the house dressed completely in red.
